Behind My Walls✔️

Chapter 37

Khalil's POV.

Ikhbal looked at me questionably. "She's our family friend". I explained. I didn't know why I was feeling restless with A'isha in Ikhbal's presence.

"Hi I'm A'isha, nice to meet you". A'isha said.

"Nice to meet you too". Ikhbal responded.

"Ohh! And Ikhbal is Khalil's friend". Khulthum interjected sneering at A'isha.

A'isha snickered. "Ohh!.. That's nice".

"Aunty let's go!". Amrah dragged Ikhbal into the Ice cream parlour and we all followed behind.

"So which one do you want?". Ikhbal asked Amrah being picky of the flavors. "Wait! Can you give me two_double scoops of vanilla, white chocolate cream, and chocolate chip toppings". She stated.

And after awhile everyone was heading to the table, ice cream in hand while I just stood there unable to choose a flavor, purposely because I don't like sugary stuff and Ice cream was a bit longer the last I intake, which I couldn't but pondered on how it actually tasted.

"Which flavor do you like?". I heard and I turned to see Ikhbal not at the table where everyone was but beside me.

I beamed. "I don't know actually, uhh! just give me the same Ice cream as this one". I said gesturing to the one she was holding. While she skeptically looked at me. "I don't like sugar". I defended.

We walked to the rest at the table and the eyes that kept burrowing into us was of A'isha, hence maybe she found it shabby that Ikhbal gets to help me with the ice cream flavor.

Ikhbal sat beside Amrah while I sat opposite to Ikhbal, which I found weird on why I like to always seat opposite to her as I get to delve into her region of beauty, how she was gently digging into her ice cream and...

"Khalil are you going to the office tomorrow?". I swiftly took off my gaze from Ikhbal, to the dubious looking A'isha and a grinning Khulthum beside her.

"Yeah! Why do you ask?".

"Well my dad wants to meet with you, on some business god_knows what! And he told me, if you could schedule a meeting with him". A'isha stated.

Evermore to my thought was of A'isha's Father always being a great helping hand to my company, which I found pleasing since he has been a family friend to us for ages and phenomenal at the same time.

"Okay I will call him when I get to the office". I said and continued stuffing my ice cream into my mouth. I don't know if getting the best taste of it was because of the mixture of the flavors itself or because it was Ikhbal's idea but I found it much on the latter.

"Ikhbal where do you guys meet?". A'isha asked after we were done with the ice creams.

Ikhbal dropped her phone. "Sorry with who?".

A'isha scoffed. "With him obviously". She said gesturing to me.

"Oh! At Aunty Umaima's house why?". She asked looking at me questionably while I just shrugged, unsure of why A'isha was asking her.

"Yeah, it was a very cute story A'isha, not your regular cliché but a very unique one". Khulthum said whilst Ikhbal and I both looked at her, with curiosity of what she meant.

"Ohh!...". A'isha turned to me. "Thats.. That's great!".

"Ya khalil can we go to the soccer field? is just close by". Ammar interjected.

"Not today Ammar, maybe when I'm free again, I will take you". I answered.

"Alright I'm tired of sitting here, lets go have fun!". Aisha said standing.
